THE BEST WAY TO CLEAN YOUR BATHTUB.

Tonight, I staged a science experiment. Here’s what I used to try to clean my shower:

Half a grapefruit and some kosher salt. Completely ineffective. But it smelled nice.
Dishsoap. Nada.
Baking Soda. It seemed to work a little, mainly by abrasion.
Baking Soda and Vinegar. Adds drama to your cleaning routine, but not terribly effective.
20 Mule Team Borax. Dude. This is the stuff.

I actually tried borax third and had to stop so I had dirt left to try my other ideas on.

That stubborn dirt and grime, impervious to bleach and every mainstream cleaner I tried, just melted away when faced with borax and a stiff-bristled scrub brush.

And you can’t get much cheaper, either!
